This book covers the background of Stauffenberg from his early life, right up until his execution at the hands of those who were still loyal to their Fuhrer. I found this publication both informative and engaging, which almost makes you feel as if you were there during the Assassination attempt on the 20th July 1944 and the executions of those involved including Von Stauffenberg’s death on the 21st July 1944 by firing squad which was carried out in the Courtyard of the Bendlerblock in Berlin. Venohr who was around 19 during the war has written an excellent book and has really taken on the urgency Germany was experiencing trying to end the war before more lives were lost and Hitler was adamant on if he was to fall, the Fatherland and all in it should fall with him also.

As one of history’s greatest generals, Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice in the 1st century BC, but historians have struggled to establish his route without evidence such as temporary marching camps that his vast army would have constructed. Now four camps have been discovered in Kent and Essex, to the excitement of archaeologists and metaldetectorists with potential new areas to explore.
New research is challenging long-held assumptions that, after landing around Walmer and Deal in 55BC and 54BC respectively, Caesar crossed the River Thames in or near present-day London, probably Brentford. The Telegraph 5/5/19
